Live streamed from NY—Watch online https://www.youtube.com/RevolutionBooksNYC or in-person at Revolution Books. Masks and proof of vaccination required.

Come hear Andy Zee, host of the Revolution-Nothing Less show and spokesperson for Revolution Books in dialogue with Raymond Lotta, a political economist who writes for the revcom.us website.

Come with your questions on the underlying causes and dangers of this war, the actual history of Ukraine, the role of the U.S. in all this—and our role, as people living within the US, the main oppressor in the world today.

‘[T]he essence of the conflict between the U.S. and countries like Russia and China is not one between “democracy” and “authoritarianism,” but is a matter of rivalry among imperialist powers, all of which are monstrous oppressors of masses of people, and none of which represent or act in the interests of humanity. What is called for, and urgently now, is to oppose all imperialist marauders and mass murderers, and all systems and relations of oppression and exploitation, while giving particular emphasis to opposing “our own” imperialist oppressors who commit their monstrous crimes “in our name” and seek to rally us to support them on the basis of a grotesque American chauvinism, which we must firmly reject and fiercely struggle against.’[read the whole article here.] from Shameless American Chauvinism: “Anti-Authoritarianism” as a “Cover” For Supporting U.S. Imperialism by Bob Avakian
